Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Ling Fei had fused with the True Dragon Blood of the Ao Qian Dragon King, strengthening his physique to a degree unimaginable to ordinary people.

This was the foundation of his incredible power.

Beyond that, Ling Fei also possessed the Eye of Destruction. However, its power was difficult to control; at the very least, his current Soul Power was still lacking.

It was another one of his trump cards and could not be revealed lightly.

Suddenly, a glint flashed in Ling Fei's eyes. 'Besides my True Dragon Body, I've also comprehended the first form of the Heaven-Reaching Hand: Void-Shattering!'

Although he had only just begun to comprehend this first form of the Heaven-Reaching Hand and had not yet fully grasped its Mystical, its power was still extraordinary.

After all, this was a Divine Technique passed down by the Marsh King himself!

A glint flashed in Ling Fei's eyes as the long sword in his hand suddenly moved. 'The Mystical of Void-Shattering can be channeled through a saber, a sword, a fist... anything.'

Meteor Sword—Void-Shattering!

SWISH!

Ling Fei's body shot forward like a meteor, streaking across the void to intercept the blue Sword Rainbow ahead.

His sword strike was incredibly fast, as if it could pierce the void itself. An obscure, soul-shaking power radiated from its tip.

"That sword strike..." The moment he attacked, the eyes of the cultivators below the stage lit up.

BANG!

In a mere instant, the two swords clashed. Ling Fei's long sword was unstoppable, directly shattering the Sword Aura erupting from the blue blade.

Immediately, the crowd saw the momentum of Lian Shuang's long sword falter. The Sword Patterns on it dissipated as an immense force surged toward her.

As Lian Shuang pulled back her long sword, a Sword Lotus immediately bloomed on the blade, nullifying the aftershock. She retreated a single step, a flicker of surprise flashing through her otherwise indifferent eyes. 'The Mystical in his sword strike has changed! The power of this attack far exceeded my expectations.'

Lian Shuang steadied herself and gazed ahead, thinking, 'That additional Mystical in his sword isn't the True Dragon Mystical Technique.'

She had originally thought that Ling Fei would have to use his True Dragon Power to contend with her.

She never imagined he had also mastered another powerful Mystical.

Having landed a successful strike, Ling Fei descended. His eyes glittered with elation. 'It worked! Integrating the Mystical of Void-Shattering into my swordsmanship makes it so much more powerful. I've only just scratched the surface. If I can integrate it further, my combat strength will definitely take a leap.' At this thought, Ling Fei's fighting spirit soared.

A glint flashed in Ling Fei's eyes as he mulled over Lian Shuang's words. 'When the heart moves, the Mystical moves!'

At the same time, he began circulating the Mystical of Void-Shattering once more, and the Visualization Image for the Heaven-Reaching Hand appeared in his mind.

BOOM!

The Visualization Image manifested in his mind, depicting the single form of Void-Shattering. The Mystical contained within grew increasingly clear.

At that same moment, Ling Fei attacked. His long sword moved, and his body shot forward like a meteor, imbued with the intent of Void-Shattering.

SWISH!

The sword was as fast as a meteor.

Wherever the tip of his sword passed, immense power erupted.

As he struck, Ling Fei's mind raced. 'Void-Shattering... the power must be concentrated at a single point.' With a single thought, the Sword Momentum of his blade changed.

The power gathering at the tip of his sword grew even stronger.

The Mystical of Void-Shattering seemed to condense into that single point.

BANG! BANG!

Wherever the long sword passed, the void itself began to crumble. Although the shattered areas were small and quickly repaired themselves, Ling Fei had truly achieved it.

This strike was truly worthy of the name Void-Shattering.

He had begun to grasp the Mystical within.

'He's gotten even stronger than before.' Lian Shuang's gaze sharpened. The long sword in her hand moved, and its Sword Momentum shifted in an instant.

Golden Light Patterns appeared on the tip of her sword.

It was the Golden Sword Pattern of the Five Elements Swordsmanship.

Gold represented hardness and sharpness.

Wherever Gold passed, it could crack the very heavens!

Lian Shuang's strike was incomparably sharp, tearing through the void as it met Ling Fei's sword head-on.

CLANG!

The two swords met with a clear ring. The resulting soundwave was ear-piercing, and the aftershock that swept out was so fierce that it caused the very void to twist.

The terrifying shockwave rolled over them like an apocalyptic flood. Even Ling Fei's brow twitched as he felt his wrist tremble from the immense impact.

A surge of energy struck him, feeling like a sharp blade slashing at his wrist.

Startled, Ling Fei hastily retreated.

Across from him, Lian Shuang also retreated hastily. The Golden Light Patterns on her blue long sword dissipated, and her momentum weakened slightly.

Even so, she was in much better shape than Ling Fei.

But the crowd below stared at Ling Fei, their eyes wide with disbelief.

"What's going on? A moment ago, Junior Sister Lian Shuang was just giving Ling the Pill Master some pointers. How is he trading blows with her in the blink of an eye?" the crowd murmured in astonishment.

Judging by that last exchange, Ling Fei didn't seem to be at much of a disadvantage at all!

"It seems we underestimated Ling the Pill Master," Huang Feng and the other geniuses murmured.

"Not bad, not bad at all," Sect Leader Yuan said with a smile, stroking his beard.

"It seems Ling Fei has comprehended another powerful Mystical. The power it wields is beyond what any ordinary Mystical can produce," Grand Elder Fang remarked.

"This kid... his progress is truly astounding!" Peak Master Zheng said with a laugh.

He vaguely remembered Ling Fei's time at Water Essence Peak.

Back then, Ling Fei had only just begun to grasp Sword Intent.

Who would have thought he could become so strong in just a few short months?

But the stronger Ling Fei became, the happier they were.

Now, they were looking forward to the rest of the battle with even greater anticipation.

'What I just used was a Sword Dao Mystical at the level of Celestial Pill Great Success. I never expected he would be able to contend with me after such a short time.'

Lian Shuang's gaze focused, a nearly imperceptible look of surprise surfacing in her eyes.

She had, after all, reached the Celestial Pill Perfection Realm. Her Swordsmanship should have been far beyond anything Ling Fei could compare to.

And yet, Ling Fei's last strike had been truly powerful, and there was still clear room for improvement.

Lian Shuang's gaze narrowed. 'It seems that if I want him to use his full strength, I'll have to get a little more serious myself.'

"Not bad," Lian Shuang said in a low voice, her sword hand raised, the Sword Patterns on her blade pulsing. "But I won't be holding back anymore."

At that moment, her entire presence became as sharp as a drawn sword, and she radiated an intimidating aura.

Seeing this, a glint flashed in Ling Fei's eyes. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling the pressure mount.

He knew that Lian Shuang was about to get serious.

The coming exchange would surely be even more ferocious.

A glint flashed in Ling Fei's eyes. 'Fine. Then let's see just how strong I really am.' He then said aloud, "Please, Senior Sister Lian Shuang, make your move."

"Very well!" Lian Shuang's gaze sharpened.

Then, with a flick of her hand, Sword Patterns began to swirl around her.

The Sword Patterns condensed, forming a golden Sword Lotus.

The Sword Lotus spun, emitting a razor-sharp Sword Qi.

The moment it appeared, Ling Fei could feel a Sword Dao Mystical radiating from it, one that was infinitesimally close to the Perfection Realm.

"Go!" With a gesture from the long sword in her hand, Lian Shuang sent the Sword Lotus whistling toward Ling Fei.

As the Sword Lotus spun, the Sword Qi within it shot out like sharp blades, slashing toward Ling Fei.

SWISH! SWISH!

One, two... nearly a hundred Sword Petals slashed out, one after another, an endless torrent like a Sword Rain that threatened to overwhelm Ling Fei.

Each one was incredibly powerful.

Furthermore, as the Sword Petals shot forward, the main Sword Lotus itself spun toward him, whipping up a Sword Qi Storm that also bore down on Ling Fei.

This meant Ling Fei had to defend against two simultaneous attacks.

"Senior Sister Lian Shuang is getting serious!" Fang Yuan's eyelid twitched as she watched from below the stage.

Lian Shuang's attack had clearly touched upon the Mystical of the Celestial Pill Perfection Realm.

Could Ling Fei, who had only just reached the Celestial Pill Minor Achievement Realm, withstand such a powerful assault?
